War Measures. 



The system that each one of us 

 adopted for carrying on his or her busi- 

 ness last year, no matter how success- 

 ful, will recjuire a change this season, 

 if success is desired. Our country is at 

 war. How does it affect our business! 

 That is the question for each one to 

 decide. The point that is most clearly 

 evidenced today is that last season's 

 plan of ordering when we needed the 

 stock can be improved upon in many 

 cases. Florists' supplies and plants 

 can frequently be purchased in advance, 

 with advantage. By doing this, disap- 

 pointment and loss of business will be 

 avoided, or, at least, reduced to a great 

 extent. 



Take, for instance, the case of Christ- 

 mas supplies. They can be ordered now 

 for shipment during the next few 

 weeks. By doing so they will be on 

 hand when wanted. By delaying, anxi-
